Dragon Gate USA presented Open the Ultimate Gate 2013 on Saturday night, a fantastic show headlined by Johnny Gargano defending the Open the Freedom Gate title against Shingo and AR Fox and CIMA defending the Open the United Gate Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks. Who would prevail on a night of non-stop action?

Emanating from the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, N.J., as part of the WrestleCon Expo, Open the Ultimate Gate 2013 featured nine matches, with two championships on the line.

It all starts breaking down, with several of the men hitting dives. Finally, with five men on the floor, Strickland messes one up. Cannon looks like he's going to do one, too, but he instead pulls out a beer and drinks it.

Cannon hits a big lariat on Jigsaw but misses a moonsault. Fire Ant back in now and he and Jigsaw combine for a DDT on Cannon. Nese back and he hits a sitout power bomb. Taylor into the fray and he drills Nese with a big knee. This is totally wild now. Everyone giving and taking moves and the crowd is on its feet.

Cannon German suplexes Strickland off the top, but Fire Ant kicks Cannon, then gives Taylor a Stunner. This is so fast. Nese chucks Jigsaw head-first into the ropes and goes to the top, but Strickland cuts him off, but Cannon comes in, only Strickland bombs him away, but before he can get up, Nese rises on the top and hits the 450 on Strickland and ends it. Wild, wild action.

Winner via pinfall: Anthony Nese

Match #3 - Derek Ryze vs. Scott Reed

Reed, taking to the ring without many of his cohorts, doesn't need them, picking up the win rather quickly in this one.

Winner via pinfall: Scott Reed

Match #4 - Jon Davis vs. Trent?

Trent sends Davis to the floor and then comes flying over the top with a big flip dive, much to the approval of the anti-Davis audience. Back in the ring, though, Davis sends Trent flying into orbit and then hits a big boot, to the crowd chanting, "You still suck!" at him.

Davis sends Trent off the apron and into the guard rail. Davis in control now. He hits a release German for two. Davis with a kick to Trent's neck. They head back to the floor and Trent starts to find some offense, but Davis hot shots him into the guard rail. That hurt. In the ring, Davis wants to send Trent flying off the top, but Trent elbows him down and then hits a twisting corkscrew moonsault for two.

Trent works some kicks and finally the third one sends Davis to the canvas. Missile dropkick connects for Trent. Running back elbow hits for Trent, but then he runs right into a choke slam. Davis follows that with the Shining Wizard for two. Davis drives Trent into the corner and just goes to town headbutting Trent and refuses to break and is finally disqualified, even though the referee gave him extra time to break.

Winner via disqualification: Trent?

Davis takes out both the ref and Trent after the match, then demands a microphone. He calls out anyone who wants to stop him. Crowd chants for Super Dragon. Crowd then chants, "Hogan." Davis says Hogan can't even stand and he'd beat the crap out of him. He drops the mic and leaves.

Match #5 - Eita & Tomahawk TT vs. Super Smash Brothers

Tomahawk making his DGUSA debut here.

Even match in the early-going, with neither team able to gain any significant edge whatsoever. That is until Tomahawk absolutely crushes Player Uno with a chop that was so hard that Player Dos sold it on the apron. Uno has the referee rub it for a moment. Smash Brothers get the edge back and Uno gives Tomahawk a little receipt, but Tomahawk gives it right back and then hits a double pump suplex.

Tomahawk and Eita hang Uno over the top rope and each deliver a dropkick. Now they start rolling. Eita now lights Uno up with a chop, but Uno comes back. Now they're trading chops. They are absolutely destroying each other. Uno is able to bring in Dos, who comes in on fire. He takes out Eita with a dive, but gets caught by Tomahawk, only to turn it in to a DDT for two.

Dos runs into a big forearm, but Uno comes in with a nice shot, only to run into a big boot. Tomahawk has Uno, but Dos comes in and leg drops him and Uno locks in the Sharpshooter, but Eita breaks it up by shoving Dos into Uno. Tomahawk might've just broken the skin with the chop he just gave Dos. Another another. And another. Eita and Tomahawk combine and destroy Dos with a Doomsday Device into a Codebreaker, but Uno breaks up the near-certain pin.

The Smash Brothers start moving, with Dos hitting Tomahawk with the 450 as Uno cannonballs Eita. They call for the fatality, but Eita crotches Dos and then walks the ropes and hits a hurricanrana. Then Eita goes to the top and looks like he's going into the ring, but moonsaults to the outside onto Uno. Holy crap!

In the ring, Tomahawk loads Dos up and hits the Night Rider and that finally does it.

Winners via pinfall: Tomahawk TT and Eita

Dragon screw leg whip for Callihan and he follows with a Figure Four. Callihan continually working on the knee of Nation. This is all Callihan at this point. Nation is able to hit a spinning backbreaker, but his knee is badly damaged, so he's slow to follow up.

Cima rolls to the outside and it's both Bucks in on Fox. They hit a double super kick and then hit More Bang For Your Buck and that is all she wrote, as Cima can't make it back in time.
